CREATE PROCESSTYPE
Define a PROCESSTYPE in the local CICS® region.
Conditions: ILLOGIC, INVREQ, LENGERR, NOTAUTH
Description
The CREATE PROCESSTYPE command installs a PROCESSTYPE definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a process-type with the name you specify in the local CICS region, the new definition replaces the old one; if not, the new definition is added.
A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE PROCESSTYPE processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE executes successfully, and rolled back if not. See Creating resource definitions for other general rules governing CREATE commands.
Options
- ATTRIBUTES(data-value)
- Specifies the attributes of the PROCESSTYPE being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in PROCESSTYPE attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and PROCESSTYPE definition attributes for details about specific attributes.
- ATTRLEN(data-value)
- Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length may not exceed 32 767 bytes.
- LOGMESSAGE(cvda)
- Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that
is created. CVDA values are as follows:
- LOG
- The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
- NOLOG
- The resource attributes are not logged.
- PROCESSTYPE(data-value)
- Specifies the 1- to 8-character name of the PROCESSTYPE definition to be added to the CICS region. The acceptable characters are A-Z a-z 0-9 $ @ # . ⁄ -_ % & ? ! : | " = ¬ , ; < >. Leading and embedded blank characters are not permitted. If the name supplied is less than eight characters, it is padded with trailing blanks up to eight characters.
Conditions
- ILLOGIC
- RESP2 values:
- 2
- The command cannot be executed because an earlier CONNECTION or TERMINAL pool definition has not yet been completed.
- INVREQ
- RESP2 values:
- n
- There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for EXEC CICS CREATE and EXEC CICS CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
- 7
- The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
- 200
- The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.
- LENGERR
- RESP2 values:
- 1
- The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.
- NOTAUTH
- RESP2 values:
- 100
- The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
- 101
- The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create a PROCESSTYPE definition with this name.
- 102
- The caller does not have surrogate authority to install the resource with the particular userid.
